has abstract	Whitethorne is a historic home located at Blacksburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. It was built about 1855, by , who received the land from his father, Governor of Virginia, James Patton Preston. It is a two-story, "L"-shaped, five bay by three bay, brick dwelling with a shallow hipped roof in the Italian Villa style. It has Greek Revival style exterior and interior decorative elements. It features a wide, elegant, one-story, five-bay front porch supported by square columns of the Tuscan order. Also on the property is a contributing two-story brick office building. Preston, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point was a lawyer by trade. He was commissioned a captain in the 1st Regiment of Virginia Volunteers at the outset of the Mexican–American War in 1846. He served in Mexico from January 16, 1847, to July 31, 1848. Upon returning home from the war he resumed his law practice. When Virginia succeeded from the Union Preston commissioned into the Virginia Militia, and was subsequently transferred to the Confederate Army, on April 24, 1861. He was promoted to colonel in the Confederate army and became the commanding officer of the 4th Virginia Infantry under brigade commander Stonewall Jackson. He commanded the 4th Virginia at First Manassas where he was wounded in battle. After several months of tending to his wound while in the army, including a brief two-week stint as a brigade commander, due to his health he was forced to resign his commission and returned home to Whitethorn. Preston did not live to see the end of the war. He died on January 20, 1862, at age 49. Whitethorne remained in the Preston family until 1889 when it was purchased by Beverly Stockton Heth, a Radford Banker and son of Chesterfield County coal magnate John Heth. The majority of the 1,500 acre estate became the Hethwood development in the 1970s, a planned community that includes single family homes, townhomes, apartments and a shopping center. The home remained in the Heth family until 2001 when it and 326 acres of surrounding farmland were acquired by Virginia Tech. Whitethorne was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. (en)
